Thank you so much! I was looking to add drought resistant flowering plants to my small yard. Knowing which are not desired by deer and bunnies is super helpful!

Russian Sage is some what invassive. I love the dwarf varieties as they are not invasive like the original Russian Sage.

I just planted about 50 brown eyed susand and cone flowers, my friend says they dont 'need irrigation system, but I think irrigation can only help. They were planted in 6" of compost on top of rock hard red clay in zone 8a Charlotte, NC.

I planted milkweed near my vegetable garden and have regretted it ever since! If I had known how invasive this plant is it would never have seen the light of day in my garden. It comes up everywhere now!! How do I get rid of it?
